Who is Fraxel for?
This treatment is commonly chosen by adults with uneven skin texture, fine lines, sun damage, or acne scarring who are seeking a non-surgical resurfacing option and are appropriate candidates based on skin assessment.

Fraxel lasers are Health Canada–approved for specific dermatologic indications and are administered by trained health-care professionals, with temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling being common following treatment.
Typical Results Timeline
Changes in skin texture may begin within days, with progressive improvement typically continuing over several weeks to months as the skin heals and remodels.
Who should avoid Fraxel?

FAQ's About Fraxel
During Fraxel, patients typically feel a series of warm, prickly sensations as the laser creates microscopic treatment channels, and a topical numbing agent is usually applied beforehand to support comfort.
Many treatment plans involve a series of sessions—often 3–5—spaced several weeks apart, with the exact number based on the severity of texture issues and treatment goals.
Mild redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation are common after a Fraxel session, and these effects typically diminish over several days; most people can return to normal activities with appropriate aftercare.
Some improvement in texture or tone may be noticed within a week, while more significant changes generally develop gradually over several weeks to months as underlying skin renewal continues.
Fraxel can target atrophic acne scarring by promoting collagen remodeling in the treated areas, but multiple treatments can be recommended for meaningful improvement depending on scar depth and skin response.
